yuletide reveal!
I've done Yuletide a few years now and I have two rules for myself: I only offer sources I straight-up love and I never offer fandoms I've written in before. This year I was assigned Bolt, super charming movie about a dog on a cross-country journey who thinks he's a superhero and along the way makes some friends, learns to be a real dog and has ADVENTURES - you can just watch this montage from the movie to get an idea of what it's like.
My recipient requested a story about the kitty sidekick in the movie, Mittens, who happened to be my favorite character in the movie. It was a lot of fun to write the story, even if it did lead me to do odd things like lie flat on the floor and stare at my two cats, asking, "What are you guys THINKING?" In mysterious (and quite typical) cat-like fashion, they were not very forthcoming.
Here is the story I finally came up with, no thanks to aforementioned housecats:

Another fun part of Yuletide this year was the fact that my good friend lavender_basil chose to participate in Yuletide for the first time! I was thrilled to beta her lovely Valentine's Day story, which was a sweet and satisfying expansion of the Sean and Holden love story we see in the movie. You should totally check it out!

Happy New Year, all! the last quarter of 2011 was full of a variety of unfun craziness for me and many people close to me, and so I'm ready to turn the page. I hope 2012 is full of wonderful things for all of you.
